2012 has been a big year for me--and an awesome one. The newest big/awesome piece of news was in PW Daily today. If you missed it, check it out here.

Joanna Volpe is our new fearless leader and our agency name is changing to New Leaf Literary and Media.

This is beyond awesome. We're still in the same office with the same phone numbers and working with the same clients, and we're really excited about all of the things we're going to be doing in this changing and growing industry.

But what does this mean if you're querying or if I've requested your manuscript?

Well, if you're querying, check out my updated submission guidelines, just below this post. I've updated them! (The big change is just the email address, but I've also updated what I'm looking for).

And if I requested your manuscript, don't worry, I still have it. I ported all my emails (not quite as fancy as it sounds) so they've all been sucked into my new New Leaf email address.
